Lyrics Judas Smile - Prince

Judas Smile

You been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If you thought that you could put me down
And not get a page in my book
You been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
Tryin' to ball, you will fall
And never get a second look
Before me there was nothing
Without the eye you cannot see
Just a form in the darkness
I brought the light and you believed
With everyone of my creations
A future story would be told (Change it up)
I tried to change it up with temptation (With temptation)
But all your claims must be sold (Walk away with soul, soul)
4 every soul there’s a buyer (There's a buyer)
4 every action there’s a price (How much U pay for that, dude?)
4 every option there’s a tryer
But when the claim run out, ain’t nothing nice
That’s why…
You been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If you thought that you could put me down
And not get a page in my book
You been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
Tryin' to ball, you will fall
And never get a second look
I changed your name, it didn’t suit ya
I did the same 4 a little while (The same 4 a little while)
The day your love led 2 revenue (Talkin' about the money)
In return a Judas smile (Hahaha, U gave me)
What I am will never fade away
Like U being funky — it’ll never be
Woo hoo, (What I am) What I am U will finally see (U will see)
Then U will admit 2 4 part harmony
You been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If you thought that you could put me down
And not get a page in my book
You been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
Tryin' to ball, you will fall
And never get a second look
(Hoodwinked)
(Ah, come on)
1979 times 2 or maybe a bit 'fo that
Me, your sister and yo' brother got paid when the man let 'em up to bat
Whaddya do, do U act like a fool and wonder why your people disown ya?
Sang any song Mr. Charlie wanna sang, see around here we don’t know ya
They’d have 2 take me out (Okay)
4 treating B like a B if she ain’t one
And if she is it’s no good like a rat in the hood
We gonna give her a Bible and then some
Come on!
(Uh)
The chocolate invasion starts here
The chocolate invasion starts here
The chocolate invasion starts here
The chocolate invasion
Neapolitan born 2 rule
I never was fond of a dumb blonde
That can’t swim in the carpool
Your secret’s out da box, B
'Less U 'fess up 2 what U stole
Here’s what we think — U’re the weakest link
Get ready 'cause we coming with the old school (Old school)
Old school (Old school)
Come on, come on — give it 2 me, baby
(That's music, baby)
(Keep doin' it)
Ahh Mr. Aussieman what makes ya think I’ll work 4 U?
Paying 15 cents on the dollar
Those are the wages of a fool, nigga
Pinocchio mentality on levels more than 9
From now on the only piece U’ll ever get from me’s my mind
Chocolate invasion starts here
Chocolate invasion starts here (Ahh)
The chocolate invasion starts here
The chocolate invasion starts here
Now wait a minute
How dare U call a robot 'Mecca'?
I knew that smack was jive
Step right up 2 the minstrel show
Starts in about 5 minutes
Confess these shuffling punks (Yeah)
Everyone claiming no sin
Act the fool if U wanna
Guess the quickest way out (Tell 'em) is the way in
(Bamboozled) U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took
If U thought that U could put me down
With a song that got no hook (Oh no)
The chocolate invasion starts here
No matter your color U’re still my brother
If U’ve got no fear — uh!
The chocolate invasion starts here
U still our sister although we missed ya
Come wipe away your tears
Peace 2 Common, (D'Angelo, Macy Gray, Lenny Kravitz)
2 brother Curtis — big love

The chocolate invasion starts here
Chocolate invasion starts here
The chocolate invasion starts here
